Any idea what is the latest update on this ? Is this going to replace the Shatabdi Express ( MYS-MAS) ? Same TT, but people end up paying more !!
If that is the case would be interesting to see where the rake of Shatabdi will be sent or used ?

The route between Mumbai and SBC isn't completely electrified. That can be a hurdle in introducing a superfast train between these two metro cities
Bangalore Mumbai via Guntakal Solapur is fully electrified and doubling left for only 100km will be done by next year. So a train can do in 19hrs now.
Just for info:
1. Solapur SF covers YPR SUR in 11.5 hours. Add 4 hours for SUR PUNE and 3.5 hours for PUNE LTT. Total 19 hours. A direct train can definitely save another 30 minutes.
2. Mumbai Bangalore is app. 1100 kms, Mumbai Chennai is around 1200 kms. Fastest train to these cities take 22 hours. Compare this with Mumbai Jaipur (1100 Kms) slowest train with loco reversal also covers in 20 hours.
